As soon as the "German-French Friendship Treaty" revised by France and Germany for the second time was announced, it set off quite a stir in Europe, especially Italy and Greece, and the response was strong. Britain also felt very strange that Prime Minister Lloyd George was overwhelmed by this series of political changes.

Mussolini's regime was finally relieved of his post as prime minister by Emanuele III due to repeated diplomatic failures and a great loss of prestige, and the ambassador to Brazil, Badoglio, was immediately appointed as the new prime minister and formed a new cabinet.

At noon on May 5, less than half a day after the resolute Badoglio took office, he immediately ordered the Italian army to relieve the tension of the war against Germany, and then, in response to Badoglio's move, Brauchitsch also quickly withdrew his troops to the German side, and part of the army returned to the area where it was originally stationed, as if it had been discussed in advance.

In the afternoon, the Trieste shipyard was ordered to begin dismantling the shipbuilding equipment and loading it on ships for transport to La Spezia. These were the properties that had previously belonged to Austria-Hungary and were not able to continue after being inherited by Croatia.

La Spezia is a port at the southeast end of the Liguria region of Italy, at the top of the Bay of La Spezia, 80 kilometers northwest of Genoa, is Italy's main shipbuilding and oil refining base, and is the city with the most complete mechanical processing configuration in Italy.

The Trieste shipyard is one of the few shipyards in the Mediterranean that can build large warships, and the German blatant dismantling work cannot hide from anyone, but fortunately Eric did not try to deceive the world. In contrast, the decision of the shipyard in Trieste, which was finally shipped, was also deliberately revealed through the "hidden front".

While the Trieste shipyard was being dismantled, Italian Prime Minister Badoglio explicitly informed the Italian Embassy in Greece that it had also suspended all diplomatic affairs with Greece, and it is very ironic that France announced the same decision not long after.

Max returned to Berlin in the evening, stepped into the presidential palace, and headed straight for Eric's office. At this time, although he had a smile on his face, it was more haggard. He was too tired to fly, and it was fast to fly, but the environment of the F-D25 simply did not allow him to sleep.

"Thank you for your hard work, Your Excellency, seeing your happy face, I know that you must have dealt with Prime Minister Lloyd George and his ministers." Eric said very confidently.

Max did not deny it, and then said, "Mr. President, don't you want to hear another piece of good news?" ”

"Oh? If there is any good news, tell me quickly, my chief manager, don't let me guess. "Eric was very eager. This time, in order to clean up a small Greece, Germany paid a lot of price, sending money, ships, shipyards, equipment, and some land that was finally brought back.

"Not a word about the Mediterranean, my President! Isn't that good news? Max wasn't going to let Eric continue guessing because he was so sleepy that he wanted to go home and sleep all day after his errand.

"Huh? My God! Eric was a little incredulous, and then a little worried that Max was self-defeating, and while it was good news, it would be even more troublesome if Britain kept Germany out of the Far East because of such a thing.

"Prime Minister Lloyd George needs a written letter from Germany, to stand closely with London on the issue of Ireland, and to cancel all trade agreements with Ireland." Max explained why.

When Eric heard that it was about Ireland, he immediately began to search for everything he knew, and by this time, the sky outside had slowly darkened, and Max had fallen asleep directly on the couch.

Eric tiptoed to the door and asked Annata for a blanket to gently cover Max. Although it is no longer cold in Berlin in May, it is still a little cool at night.

"Director Anata, call the guards to come and guard, I need to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately." After Eric finished his instructions, he got into the car to the Prime Minister's Office.

Stresemann was working on a speech when he heard a knock on the door a few minutes later, and he was a little upset to be interrupted at a critical moment.

"Please come in." Stresemann shouted out the door without raising his head.

"Are you still busy, my Prime Minister?" Eric then pushed the door in and said hello.

Eric never does anything rude when he goes in and out of the office of his subordinates, because the habit of breaking in without knocking is a taboo in officialdom.

"My God, why is Mr. President here now? Sit down, don't you want to have a drink? "Stresemann was a bit of a scramble for a moment.

"If Your Excellency Prime Minister has something to eat, I would be more than happy to dine here." Eric saw a steak on the table that had already cooled, and it seemed that Stresemann hadn't eaten dinner either.

"You're writing a manuscript, and it looks like I'm not here at the right time." Eric said.

"It's an aid loan to France, and it's going to be announced at a press conference tomorrow, and I want to make the wording pretty, so I'm trying to figure it out." Stresemann sat across from Eric, trying to find some inspiration from the big boss.

"Oh, speaking of which, I think I'm surprised by the level of diplomacy of the three of you this time." Eric said excitedly, because he just made a request, and the conditions given seemed good, but many times it was not what others wanted.

Just like the terms that Stresemann agreed with France to send troops were a loan of 10 billion federal marks to help France restore domestic production. In addition, an amount of DM 5 billion in aid and commissioners were sent to restore arable land in the north-east of France. In the case of Italy, Germany secretly promised Rhode Island, and then gave the Trieste shipyard, which could not keep up with the pace of design and production, to Italy.

In these matters, Eric also figured out some reasons, Britain lost its prestige in the First World War, this seemingly invisible but tangible feeling, is the basis for Britain to maintain a large number of overseas colonies, and unbridled robbery and claim of colonies, so that the antipathy of the world rose rapidly, and even the problem of Ireland became more and more serious, and even rebellion continued. Germany itself had a trade deal with Ireland, which existed during the Hohenzollern period.

Britain is now laying out the problem in order to seek a bilateral compromise.

The Soviets did not miss this opportunity, and Germany finally sold a production line for the No. 3 tank hull, and the engine was supplied by Germany, because the engine was still a sensitive technology, so the engine technology was not sold.

The United States, on the other hand, bought 120 tanks of various types at the price of one tank for $1, as long as they were already equipped by Germany and were in service.

This is the price paid by Germany, and diplomacy is a war of interests, and whoever can come up with attractive chips will get what he needs. Eric once again left Germany to settle the Greek question logically and become the party of justice, which is defined by this as the prerogative of the intelligent strong.
